VIDEO QUALITY CAUTION

FRAME RATE NOTICE REGARDING USER-SELECTED OPTIONS

Pelco systems are capable of providing high quality video for both live viewing and playback. However, the systems can be used in lower quality
modes, which can degrade picture quality, to allow for a slower rate of data transfer and to reduce the amount of video data stored. The picture
quality can be degraded by either lowering the resolution, reducing the picture rate, or both. A picture degraded by having a reduced resolution
may result in an image that is less clear or even indiscernible. A picture degraded by reducing the picture rate has fewer frames per second,
which can result in images that appear to jump or move more quickly than normal during playback. Lower frame rates may result in a key event
not being recorded by the system.

Judgment as to the suitability of the products for users’ purposes is solely the users’ responsibility. Users shall determine the suitability of the
products for their own intended application, picture rate and picture quality. In the event users intend to use the video for evidentiary purposes in
a judicial proceeding or otherwise, users should consult with their attorney regarding any particular requirements for such use.

and compatible with Digital Sentry

The camera supports two compression formats and many resolutions. The two standard compression formats include H.264 and MJPEG. The
dual streams can be configured for a variety of resolutions, frame rates, and bit rates.

The IXE Series 2.1 megapixel (MPx) camera is avialable in two camera styles: color or day/night. The day/night model has an mechanical IR cut
filter that increases camera sensitivity in low-light situations. The camera uses a 1/3-inch imager and accommodates CS-mount lenses.

The camera also includes built-in Power over Ethernet (PoE), which supplies power to the camera through the network. If PoE is not available, the
camera is prewired for 24 VAC.

BUILT-IN ANALYTICS

IXE20 Series models are available with preloaded Pelco Analytic Suites or ObjectVideo® (OV) Suites. Analytics enhance the flexibility and

CAT5 CABLE

Connect a Cat5 cable to an RJ-45 network connector (not supplied). The 8-pin connector includes video and PoE for the camera. PoE (IEEE

802.3af) injects power over the same cabling that carries the network data, eliminating the need for a separate power supply. This simplifies the
installation and operation of the camera without affecting network performance.

NOTE: The camera will autosense and configure itself to use either a crossover cable or a straight cable.

NORMALLY OPENNORMALLY CLOSED

The camera provides an alarm input for external signaling devices, such as door contacts or motion detectors. Both normally open and normally
closed devices are supported.

Supervised Alarms

When an alarm is configured as a supervised alarm, the camera maintains a constant electrical current through the alarm circuit
(3.3 VDC, 1 ohm). If the alarm circuit length changes, due to an electrical short or a bypass, the voltage fluctuates from its normal state and
activates an alarm.

NOTE: Install the 1-kohm resistor as close to the switch as possible.

Figure 10 illustrates the alarm and no alarm conditions of a supervised alarm input. Whether the alarm is normally closed or normally open,
neither a cut nor a bypass can defeat these alarms.
